Wine Critic Reviews
The 2014 Batailley has an attractive bouquet, lilting scents of redcurrant and raspberry coulis, quite floral and very precise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, good depth and body, rounded for Batailley and less austere than usual. It feels closed towards the finish, tight-lipped, but there is certainly grip and presence here. It will require several years in bottle before it can show its true potential, but there is a sense of class to this Batailley that I suspect will become more evident with maturity. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

The 2014 Batailley has a backward nose, black fruit, dried blood and white pepper (like before); it is very classic in style, but I would have liked a bit more brightness and vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, just a soupçon of greenness towards the finish. It's a decent Batailley, but the quality improved significantly after this vintage. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year-On tasting.
